<h2>\framebox</h2>


<h3>Normal use</h3>


<p><tt>\framebox[width][position]{text}</tt></p>

    <tt><a href="ltx-262.html">\makebox</a></tt> command, except

    that it puts a frame around the outside of the box that it creates.</p>

    <tt>\fboxrule,</tt> and leaves a space <tt>\fboxsep</tt> between

    the rule and the contents of the box.</p>


<p>The <tt>\framebox</tt> command is <a href="fragile.html">fragile</a>.</p>


<h3>In picture environment</h3>
